Additional information

Lee County Emergency Management reminds residents to avoid placing electric extension cords across roadways. The cords prevent solid waste workers, utility crews and first responders from completing their work and present an electrical hazard.

Haulers under contract to Lee County Solid Waste and area municipalities will never request payment from residents for picking up residential trash, hurricane debris or other waste.

Due to power outages, lift stations used to convey sewage to wastewater treatment plants will not work or will have only limited operations. Remember even though power has been restored to your home, it does not mean that power has been restored to all lift stations within your neighborhood. Normal operations will resume as power is restored.
